Hey good lookin’! Chances are, if you see a glowing, relaxed-looking Arizonan, he or she have recently been blissing out at a resort spa, dayspa or local gym. Here are our top health and beauty choices in the Valley, from resorts and spas to doctors and beyond.
These are the winners of Best Of Our Valley 2013 in the Health and Self category – the best of the best in Arizona. The winner each category this year will be featured in Arizona Foothills Magazine’s March 2013 issue, a tell-all guide to the coolest people and places in the Valley of the Sun, as chosen by its residents. The winner with the most total votes will be featured on the cover of Arizona Foothills Magazine’ s Best Of issue (but we aren’t telling who won the cover just yet!).
